How we handle toilet chip repair in Rhydymain
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gwynedd. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace in Rhydymain?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
